HEEEELP ME, 2000$ R E W A R D FOR the right solution timestamp .bak wallet away

[cakir]

I've done what you've done on your computer. I managed to bring back the wallet.timestamp.bak file with "Ctrl+Z" command (Of course I didn't delete anything so it brought back from memory I guess)
But I don't think you're able to recover it if you closed your computer since then.


edit: Damn you don't have the .bak file either


Hi,
Can you try these steps please?
1- Download this Hex editor: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/17562/hexedit (or any other hex editor)
2- Back up your .bak file somewhere (corrupted one) and work on it.
3- Open a normal wallet.dat file with this hex editor. It should look like this:

4- Open the *.bak file (corrupted wallet)
It should look like this:

if the shown bytes are different than normal wallet.dat file than copy the correct header info to *.bak file.
Then save .bak file, then rename & place it as wallet.dat to blockchain directory. Try to run core wallet with this new wallet.dat
(I'll try this a few minutes later).

Right, but there are differences at OS level when it comes to handling of files. In any case, there are no traces of .bak file on my computer.

If there are no traces of the "wallet.XXX.bak" file after being renamed to "wallet.dat" (assuming you deleted the empty "wallet.dat" first) then it is because Bitcoin Core didn't find a problem with it when it restarted (i.e. the file wasn't corrupt).

There is no wallet.dat file at the stage when you are renaming .bak file to .dat file.

I was creating the new wallet.dat, i copy the receiver adress and then renamed it, i think even if i find this file, it might not contain data??? or will this file have all data then, even if the bitcoin client was open only for 1 min not even?
i checked it, if i do it with another wallet and i leave the program open for 10 min and then rename it, even if programm is running, than the wallet.dat is still OK

You should *never* be renaming "wallet.dat" full stop and most especially not while the program is running.

So you do not have backup of a new wallet nor backup of wallet.1457257429.bak?

NO,

i renamed the bak file to wallet file
so it is normally not lost
but the system replaced it with a new wallet file
the normal procedere is that the system will only replace if in the folder is no wallet.dat available
in my case the system see a wallet.dat, but knowing that this was a wallet.2314234.bak before and then removes it
(not really replace, because it goes away a second after start the app, and the new one is coing after all the checks.)

so, where the system send the file, is htere any backup or so,
i think here we need experts in the software itself right, is there any support for bitcoin core that is highly advanced, i even will pay them 500$ per hour for that. i need it to be solved.

First of all, do not mess with partition and HDD where you have Bitcoin wallet.dat files! Second, download Recuva https://www.piriform.com/recuva or some other file recovery software to different computer, install it there then shutdown your computer with Bitcoin wallet.dat files. Remove HDD from it, attach it to computer with file recovery software and do a full deep scan of HDD. All found deleted files must be copied to different HDD, not the one that have Bitcoin wallet.dat files! Unless you are perfectly aware of what you are doing better just take HDD to file recovery specialist or service.

Bitcoin Core simply deleted your new wallet.dat (wallet.2314234.bak) file but possibly there is a chance it is not unrecoverably overwritten.

Hi, thank you

but the file is not really deleted, the bitcoin core system send it somewhere, i dont think they delete it.
if you follow the steps you can see it in your wallet happen, its a Bug maybe

the bitcoin core app creates a new wallet.dat file and there is not my money, the bitcoin core program send 1. the wallet.dat (what was renamed to wallet.dat from the wallet-4343.dat) to nirvana, and i don´t know where it is

You should still do what totohasproblem suggests. If you really think you have the file somewhere, you could download a tool that searches inside files. Open a proper file in an editor and search for something that appears in the beginning of the file. If you find the right tool and configure it to read file correctly it will find any wallet file that was originally created by your bitcoin client.

@ totohasproblem and everyone new around here

You better not deal with noobs from this forum, chance is very high that people who have a new accounts here are scammers and not trustworthy. "I need access to your computer" and so on, to steal your wallets and infect machine with some malware. "I can fix it but PM me" and such bullshits. Do not buy into such schemes. Anyone who is worthy of dealing with in cryptocoin community already has some Full, Senior or higher rank member account, for everyone else just asume they are up for no good and you will be fine.

Honestly, the only thing you can do is try to remember if you have one more fine backup, other than that, I guess all is lost. Even if I carry just half of bitcoin in my wallet, I keep it's backup like at 5 different places.
